Chapter 61 The Destruction of Tianyin Temple
Having said that, Zhou Tian didn't linger any longer.
With a thought, the Immortal Execution Sword reappeared beneath his feet.
"I'm gone."
Zhou Tian stepped onto the sword and waved to his five senior sisters.
It then transformed into a streak of gray sword light, soaring into the sky and hurtling towards the northwest.
That's the direction of Tianyin Temple.
......
Eight thousand miles is an unreachable and long journey for ordinary people.
But for a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator traveling on a sword, it would only take an hour.
If one were to cultivate spatial supernatural powers, then let alone eight miles, even a distance of ten thousand miles would be nothing more than a thought away.
As the sun began to set and the evening glow painted the sky red, Zhou Tian had already reached the territory of Tianyin Temple.
Unlike the ethereal atmosphere of the Taiqing Sect, Tianyin Temple is nestled among desolate mountains.
The temple buildings are entirely dark gold, with countless wind chimes hanging under the eaves. When the mountain wind blows, they produce a crisp yet eerie sound.
Above the temple, a faint Buddhist light shrouded the area, but within that light was a barely perceptible trace of...blood.
Zhou Tian pressed down on the sword light, which landed in front of the Tianyin Temple gate.
The mountain gate is ten zhang high and is made of some kind of black metal.
The door was carved with dense Buddhist scripture runes, exuding an aura that suppressed the soul.
Two young monks dressed in gray robes were on duty at the gate.
Upon seeing Zhou Tian's sudden appearance, the two monks were taken aback at first, and then their expressions darkened.
"Amitabha."
The tall, thin monk on the left stepped forward, clasped his hands together, but his tone was unfriendly:
"Esteemed benefactor, this is a sacred place of Tianyin Temple. You may not enter without prior notice."
"Please leave quickly, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the Buddhist temple."
Zhou Tian smiled upon hearing this.
He looked up at the three gilded characters "Tianyin Temple" above the mountain gate, then at the two monks, his tone calm:
"Peace and quiet?"
"Abducting women and practicing evil arts—does that deserve to be called pure?"
The two monks' expressions changed drastically!
The short, stout monk on the right flashed a fierce glint in his eyes and shouted sharply:
"How dare you! You have defiled my Tianyin Temple!"
"I see you as a spy from the demonic path, sent to infiltrate our temple's secrets!"
"Senior brother, take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the short, fat monk made the first move.
He formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and his body surged with Buddhist light, transforming into a giant golden hand that grabbed down towards Zhou Tian's head!
"Great Grappling Hand!"
This move was clearly a legitimate Buddhist supernatural power, quite formidable, enough to capture a Golden Core cultivator.
Upon seeing this, the tall, thin monk did not hesitate and produced a string of Buddhist prayer beads.
The prayer beads consist of 108 beads, each engraved with tiny scriptures.
It spun rapidly in the air, transforming into a golden halo that enveloped the heavens!
The two worked together seamlessly, one capturing and the other trapping, clearly indicating they often teamed up against enemies.
however.
Faced with these two attacks, which would have made even a Golden Core cultivator flustered, Zhou Tian didn't even lift an eyelid.
He simply gave a faint hum.
"snort."
The sound was very soft.
But just as that soft hum rang out...
"puff!"
"puff!"
Two muffled thuds.
The golden hand, the string of prayer beads, and the bodies of the two monks all froze simultaneously.
Then, as if struck by an invisible hammer, the two bodies exploded, turning into two clouds of blood mist that dissipated into the air.
Not even a scream could be left behind.
Zhou Tian didn't even glance at the two plumes of blood mist before stepping over the stone steps in front of the mountain gate.
He raised his head and looked into the depths of Tianyin Temple, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes.
"Tianyin Temple..."
Zhou Tian spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it resounded like thunder from the heavens, echoing throughout the entire Tianyin Temple:
"Today, it's time to wipe them out."
The words fell.
Zhou Tian raised his hand, and the Zhuxian Sword reappeared in his hand.
The dark gray blade gleamed with a cold, deathly luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He gripped his sword and gently swung it at the towering black gate of Tianyin Temple, which stood ten zhang tall.
"laugh!"
A hazy, gray sword aura tore through the air and slashed towards the mountain gate.
next moment.
"BOOM!!!"
The entire Tianyin Temple shook violently!
But just then, a majestic voice suddenly reached Zhou Tian's ears.
"laugh!"
The gray sword energy tore through the air and slashed towards the ten-zhang-high black mountain gate.
Wherever the sword energy passed, space was easily torn apart like fragile cloth, revealing deep, dark void cracks behind it.
If this sword strike lands, not only will the mountain gate be split in two, but the entire mountain peak will be cleaved in two!
however.
Just as the sword energy was about to touch the mountain gate.
"Amitabha."
A vast and powerful Buddhist chant resounded from the depths of Tianyin Temple.
The voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul, carrying an eerie calm and majesty.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light shot up from the depths of the temple, transforming into a giant golden hand that appeared out of thin air in front of the mountain gate.
He spread his five fingers, palm facing outwards, and gently clenched his fist towards the gray sword energy.
"Buzz!"
The gray sword energy struck the golden palm, producing a dull boom.
The sword energy slashed wildly, trying to tear the palm apart, but the golden palm remained unmoved. The Buddha light flowed in the palm, gradually eroding and dissolving the sword energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.
Three breaths later.
The gray sword energy completely dissipated.
The golden hand slowly faded away, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air.
